Thy Kingdom Come (and a New Song by our friend, Isaiah!)
A Voice Calling
It has been a journey, learning about the faith journey! This video is about entering fully into Christ. There are pictures of this journey throughout Scripture but to understand we have to enter the narrow gate and begin. As He leads, He teaches. It begins as we leave Egypt. That is salvation: Repentance, the forgiveness of sins, the death of the old man. The first born under Adam. We get baptized in Jesus as we cross the red sea. We are led by the presence of His Spirit through the wilderness. The wilderness is where the Bronze serpent was lifted on a pole. It is where we are sifted. It is where we learn what parts of Egypt still remain and make the choice to let the old man stay buried or to resurrect Him. It is where we choose to obey and trust the Father of or remain orphaned in our hearts and mind. It is where we get untangled from our past and healed. It is where, if we remain... we crucify Him over and over. He died to free us.

The Jordan is where Jesus baptizes us in His Spirit and we are prepared to walk in our new identity. It is where we learn about the love of the Father. It is where we accept who He says we are. We are given the anointing here to walk out His perfect will.

The promised land is our inheritance. It is adoption. Identity. The victory. It is where the enemy is handed to us. The giants become food for us. The ravens bring us bread. We are no longer food for the enemy. It is where we experience the power of the cross. The reversal of the curse. Being restored to the Father in the Garden and choosing to eat of the tree of life. We desire to do His perfect will and know that He will clear our path and lead us in the way everlasting. This is kingdom. This is sonship. This is inheritance. We see how all things are worked for good. Every battle led us here.

Another picture of this journey is the temple. The gate is leaving Egypt and entering into the faith journey. The outer court holds the baptism in water and the Bronze items, it is the journey to and through the wilderness. It is the beginning of thecrefining process. The narrower gate is entering into the Holy place. This is being baptized in the Spirit and receiving the anointing. Where we begin to become who we Behold. Where we worship in Spirit and in truth. Where we receive the blueprints. The Holy of Holies is the mind of christ. The promised land. Being restored to our father. Living out His will. Full surrender. Faith refined. His image reflected. Walking in the full revelation of His Spirit and presence. Two become one.

In Jewish tradition, the outer court was known as "The Way." The inner court, the Holy Place: "The Truth." The Holy Of Holies "The Life." Jesus sad He is the Way, the Truth and The Life. He was saying He's the fulfillment of the Law. He's saying, He's the journey back to the Father. He also says we are the Tabernacle of God. He is in us leading as we are in Him.

Jesus is explained as having Bronze feet, eyes like flames, hair as white as wool. His voice like many waters. This is a third picture of entering Him. Wilderness. Spirit filled. Holiness. When we are filled with the spirit of God, we receive a new heart, His heart. From it flows the river of life. The words and thoughts of God. It is becoming one with perfect love. It is being healed and restored. It is the journey through Christ where we learn who God is and who we are. We can study the life of Christ to receive fuller revelation of how this looks and the course it follows.

The Bible is a supernatural book with depth incomprehensible. It is about this journey. It is about covenant between God and man and sonship, entrance into His family. The kingdom of God. It is about being transferred from dirt to Spirit. Death to life. He wants to teach as we are becoming. He created us for relationship. And He knows what we need and how to get us there... but He gave us the choice of how deep we want to go... how much we are willing to give. He desires our complete love and devotion. He showed us what that means, what true and perfect love looks like... because He first loved us this way.

It is the greatest love story ever told. He is our ever after. ❤️ He calls us deeper. And deeper still. For eternity. All of heaven couldn't contain Him...so He made billions of hearts to fill and overflow. He will gather the ones who desire Him. He won't lose even one.
